Lunch with an old friend

My children and I had lunch with an old friend of mine last week. It was so good to be together again, it had been several years....yes, I said YEARS!! I couldn't believe that much time had gone by because we use to see each other on a weekly basis! Sometimes I don't like how life takes over in that way.

I hereby introduce her to you:



my dear friend~
Jennie's Diner, along Lincoln Highway East.

The same bells welcomed me that afternoon, just as they had hundreds of times before. Most everything was exactly the way I remembered it from my high school years, eerily exact. Almost like stepping back in time, except now I was married and had three children in tow and I'm not scoping out the next guy who walks in! Oh, and I could actually BREATHE, (it's finally non-smoking)! thank goodness! Admittedly, I did a "smell check" before unloading the children and taking them inside. And she is always, always decorated for.every.single.imaginable.holiday.

The food was as good as it's always been. And I ordered "breakfast" for lunch because she is awesome and serves breakfast all day. One plate of scrambled eggs, toast, home fries, well-done bacon and OJ....split between all of us! It was great....and filling!! The kids loved the jukebox too, they each put a quarter in and we listened to "piano man" by billy joel.

No Joke! That lady was my waitress when I was 16 years old!!

As we sat there I thought about how this place is such a part of my past.... and how God's faithfulness sat with me in that booth all those years ago
and still sits with me today.

I am grateful.

"The Lord's faithfulness endures forever...."
Psalm 117:2
